Hopefully Game 6 will be Kyle’s last as a Wolf.

Unbelievable we can’t get a shot off there.

Did they score one every single possession in the 3rd?
Sure seemed like it.

Why do you think the coaches insist on this? I think we have a bunch of inconsistent, not confident shooters. KAT/Ant and that’s it and Ant isn’t shooting well today either.

This series is bringing back all those bad feelings I had about Rudy Gobert and the Rudy Gobert trade.

Let's not start this. Gobert is for sure NOT the main reason we are losing today. Turnovers, lack of execution, discipline and effort are killing us.

Coaching failure, plain and simple. Rudy Gobert and Kyle Anderson should NEVER share the court. I’ve been talking about this all season, and this is why.

Kyle is a Disaster.

We're done. 14 down on the road against Denver. They have just beat the sh=t out of us tonight. I hate to say it. Our 120 million $ trio have been below average at very best. Kat not so much.

I worried about of offense all season, at this level there will be times when you need to get buckets in bunches and we just can't do it unless Edwards is going off. That's our only pitch, that fastball. We just don't have enough on offense to compete on an elite level. Our defense had carried us hard and it was great but elite offense can't be stopped. I knew the Nuggets were a well-oiled machine but I am even more impressed with how they have responded to adversity. This team has championship DNA all over it.

It's a loss. Denver isn't blowing a 16 point 4th quarter lead. I'm still holding out hope.

It’s funny here how Rudy seems to be responsible for all! ANT can’t hit a bucket but Rudy défense is the reason why we lose. Joker dominates 99% of the people guarding him in the league.

I hate coach interviews during the game so much

This has to be one of the most frustrating game of the season. You can say le'ts take Gobert out of the game but those minutes with Towns and Naz were bad too. KA had no business in the game at all. Let's hope we win game 6 and get this series to a one game playoff.

For me too! I am back to hating Connelly. Giving up all those assets just to win one playoff series was not worth it. Ant needs help and we don't have a young Robin to pair with him and little ability to acquire one. KAT, Rudy and Jaden are overpaid albatrosses which foreclose any chance of signing a big time free agent. Depressing.

FrenchMinnyFan · Post #296 » by **FrenchMinnyFan** » Wed May 15, 2024 4:40 am

Our défense is not bad. The real problem is our offense as
It has been all season.

I get that but Ant and Kat are proven shooters. You go to them now. Live or die by it. Reid can make them too. He's only taken 2 tonight.

No but it is the reason we won't have anyway to improve drastically.

It is the reason why we are deep in the tax.

It is the reason why we are placing so much emphasis on this one playoff run.

It was a terrible trade. The Conley one made it easier to swallow but it was a horrible mistake.

We should have continued to build around Ant slowly.

It's definitely not all his fault. Nuggets have just been outplaying us all over and Jokic has been unreal. If we can muster up some kind offense we can still get in this game but with the way Denver can score, this doesn't seem likely.

Kyle Anderson is the worst basketball player in the NBA.

But the player I’m most worried about is Jaden McDaniels. He needs to make a jump next year on offense or this whole thing with our salary structure doesn’t not work. If he doesn’t develop to another level we are screwed.
